Forrest Gump: Maybe LZ has seen it. After all, it's too famous.
Recommend two familiar but absolutely inspiring movies, October Sky and Chasing Dreams. There are not many resources in Thunder, but I hope the landlord will like it and feel something after reading it.

Introduction to the story of October sky
In the coal forest area of West Virginia, coal mining is the life center of all local people. Horner's father, John hickmann (Chris Cooper), finally became a supervisor through his own efforts and established his position and prestige in the local area. John likes coal mines because this is the reason why the whole area exists. If no one found coal mines there, there would be no "coal forest". He is the center of the whole area, and he also wants Horner and his brother Jim to take over.
But Jim won a football scholarship at school and was able to continue his studies. Horner also has his own plans. He wants to go out. He wants to go out of the "coal forest" to pursue his ideal. He wants to be a scientist, but his father doesn't understand. So they often have conflicts. Horner grew up in this situation and realized his father's anger, his lover's love, his hatred for his brother and his love for his friends.
Inspired by the rocket pioneer Werner wernher von braun, Horner invented his first rocket. He took gunpowder out of firecrackers and put it in a flashlight. He thought it could fly to 300 feet, but it exploded in his mother's small garden. But he is not discouraged and calls in two helpers: roy lee (William Liscott) and odell (Chad Limberg). With the help of local mathematician Quentin (christopher owen), he designed and manufactured a series of rockets. Horner himself is not a mathematical genius, but Quentin is; He is not good at collecting, and odell knows how to get the materials he needs; Roy lee is a master of communication. He can induce people to hand over what they need. Horner had only enthusiasm and confidence, but he gave them all the enthusiasm and confidence.
Their physical chemistry teacher Li Lei (laura dern) found them a book about rockets. They teach themselves and apply what they have learned to rockets. Li Lei uses teacher's identity education to inspire children, especially Horner, to think that they can be what they want to be. So no matter what difficulties he encountered, he overcame them amazingly.
After a series of accidents, they set up a launch base in an abandoned garbage dump outside the village and named it "Coal Forest Corner". The first rocket they successfully launched was called "Auk- 1", which means a flightless bird. The rocket flew in an arc and rushed to the coal mine. People ran around and finally the rocket crashed near Horner's father's office. This made his father furious. Horner realized that his father was not interested in rockets and everything he did. This made him very sad, angry and depressed.
Although John hickmann thinks his son is wasting his energy, his wife Elsee (Natalie Canaday) encourages him to insist that she is willing to do anything for his children's dreams. John hickmann is more realistic: not every dream can come true, and not everyone can become a rocket expert, especially in a place like West Virginia where even rockets have never been heard of. In fact, the father loves the children, just because the children did not grow up according to the father's arrangement, so they showed such a side. Although he is a strict man, he doesn't care. He thinks it is foolish to study rockets-something he knows very little-and he doesn't want children to be sad about the unknown results after putting in so much enthusiasm.
When their rockets flew higher and straighter, the children became local celebrities. Crowds of people watched them launch rockets. They make money by selling rubbish, metal scraps and other things. In the end, their rockets fly higher and higher, and it seems that it is just around the corner to enter the science exhibition and even win the prize. This is not only their dream, but also the dream of the whole region.
1In February 1998, Hornahi hornak Mann retired from NASA as an engineer.
3. Chasing Dreams
A brief introduction to the story of a pure heart chasing dreams
Adapted from an inspirational film of a true story, Rudy, the protagonist, dreams of becoming an American football star and playing in the school team of his church university. However, his family is poor, his stature is short, his sports performance is average, and it is difficult to do it in all aspects. However, he was not discouraged at all. He saved money for a preparatory class and took part in the work as an undergraduate. After several years of hard work, Rudy finally joined the college football team, but he didn't get a chance to play among many big players. Until the last game, the teammates were moved by Rudy's perseverance and forced the coach to let him play. Rudy finally showed an impossible miracle to his father and brother who had been watching his game. Director David Asper succinctly and powerfully explained the theme of "Where there is a will, there is a way". Sean astin vividly shaped Rudy's image and spirit, and his performance was very touching.
=====================================
The story takes place in a small town in America. Most residents in the town work in steel mills. Rudy is the hero of this play. At the age of eight or nine, he made up his mind to be a member of the American football team of Notre Dame University. But when he grows up, he still has no conditions to enter this prestigious school, because he is not a rich boy, has no good academic performance, and has no strong physique as an American football player. Including his father and brother, don't look up to him, and his childhood girlfriend has left him, but dreams are dreams. You don't need to care about other people's eyes, you don't need to prove to others, you just need to face your inner voice faithfully, and that melody will trigger your inner potential.
Rudy left the steel plant with his savings. In order to enter Notre Dame University, he went to a nearby university to get better grades. He was rejected by Notre Dame University for two years in a row, but he never gave up and still stuck to his dream. Finally, he was admitted to Notre Dame University and later became a member of the American football team.
Rudy is in poor shape. Standing with other players, he can only shoulder others' shoulders, but his fighting spirit and serious practice attitude also spur other players. Rudy became a model, and his efforts created his own miracle in life.
In the last game, he finally appeared and led his teammates out of the tunnel. His family came to see him by car from their hometown. In the snowy season, the family and the audience called Rudy's name together. This was Rudy's first and last game, and he did it. Finally, he was heroically carried off the court, which was an unprecedented gesture of the Notre Dame football team to pay tribute to its teammates. I believe this kind of life is enough for Rudy.
